RURAL ROUTES Complete rural route service will he installed in Allen county October 1. Even without this complete service the t we] fth congressional district has more rural routes than any congressional district in the state. The fact that the twelfth is a democratic district, supports past contentions that rural routes are an asset of the postoffice department at Washington and are not a gift for any congressman to throw at his friends. An inspector is now here and so is Congressman Cromer. The latter is holding secret meetings over the county and is no doubt instilling into his party leaders that he is the postofflce department and that it is he that employs an inspector at the expense of Uucle Sam, and that he can deliver your mail at your door or make you walk to the nearest pustoffice. This is political buncombe of a very cheap sort. Congressman Cromer has worked it to a frazel, and it is now about time he run for congress on his own record and upon the record of hisgparty, Adams county will be taken care of in rural routes.

The rural delivery of mail will spread out wherever possible and Adams county will be in the swim. Congressman Cromer to the contrary notwithstanding. You will lose your vote by moving from one township to another. Keep in mind the election November 8. Begin right by hearing General James B. Weaver at the court house Friday evening. This is the opening speech, and it will be one of the best of the campaign. He will discuss the issues and give every reason in the world for loyally supporting the nominees of the democratic party. Turn out and make the opening the best meet ing of the campaign. Col. William Hoynes, LaPorte, Ind., republican candidate for congressman against B. F. Shively in 1888, and one of the best known Catholic educators in the West, being a member of the faculty of Notre Dame University, has openly declared for Judge Parker for president. Colonel Hoynes was one of the original Blaine men. His espousal of the candidacy of Judge Parker is likely to give the democratic ticket a largely increased vote in Northern Indiana George W. Cromer and J. M. Frisinger made a business trip to Berne today.

Everybody invited to the meetings tonight.
